His presidential inauguration may be a few days away but president-elect Barack Obama received an early wax inauguration at Madame
Tussauds in New York City.
Madame Tussauds says that Obama is the first individual to be
immortalized in wax by all eight of Madame Tussauds worldwide locations at the
same time.
Also on the same floor is former American President Abraham Lincoln's
wax figure.
During the presidential inauguration in Washington D.C. on January 20th, Obama
will take his oath using same Bible that Abraham
Lincoln used during his inauguration.
